a risk worth taking 🌊
it’s been 24 hrs since abs-cbn entertainment’s youtube channel was taken down due to an alleged hacking incident. why hasn’t it been returned yet? if this can happen to one of southeast asia’s biggest network, smaller channels are much more vulnerable

a 1-kg ball ham already costs 600+ pesos. add a traditional filipino spaghetti and fruit salad on the table, and that's surely going to hover closer to 1000. claiming that a 500-peso budget is enough for a 'simple' noche buena meal takes a great deal of mental calisthenics and is way out of touch
Trade Secretary Cristina A. Roque said that a P500 budget can be enough to cover a simple Noche Buena meal for a family of four or less.

This computation is based on the Noche Buena Price Guide the department released earlier this month. | via Justine Irish Tabile

#LoveJoyHope #SabayTayoNgayongPasko is the second best christmas id that abs-cbn produced since they were forced off the air, only next to #IkawAngLiwanagAtLigaya. the callback to their original 2004 song is brilliant, the song is actually catchy, and the storytelling is decent and cohesive
NGAYONG GABI NA! ❤️☺️⭐️
 
Hindi ka mag-iisa ngayong Pasko, Kapamilya. Sabay-sabay nating damhin ang #LoveJoyHope!
 
Abangan mamayang gabi ang #ABSCBNChristmasID2025, bago mag-TV Patrol! 🌟🎶

in today's world where art is often born from AI, apple shooting glass to craft the new apple tv logo is a bold nod to human ingenuity and tactile craftsmanship. do not mistake this for a simple brand refresh. this is apple's vision, a narrative of creativity in the age of AI
Wait, the new Apple TV intro was real & not CGI?!

i can't understand why facebook and messenger on desktop display messages in groups within community chats alongside regular group chats and direct messages. it's so cluttered! it's so much more organized in the app, but then they decided to decommission the mac app by dec. what options do i have? 😣
November 4, 2025 at 5:01 AM
as a nothing phone user myself, i can’t help but feel they lost the plot

apple seriously needs to add clear cache and clear data options for apps installed in iOS, iPadOS, and macOS devices. it makes no sense that a ride hailing app on my phone takes up over 4GB of storage!

just when i started enjoying messenger on mac after the latest update, meta decided to pull the plug. no video calls on Safari, so I installed the app... now they’re taking that away too ugh

i'm so bummed that youtube removed the minimize button in videos. now i can't scroll for what to watch next while watching the video i already selected. ughhh

i’ve been trying to send my travel pictures through airdrop since last night, so far no luck. wtf is going on at apple? it’s literally just 19 pictures 😤

often we forget that being alive is different from actually living

i love love love the new iOS 26 and macOS 26, except for one thing: compact tabs on safari are missing on mac! bring 'em back, apple!!!

can’t believe i’m saying this but microsoft copilot in the bing app looks waaaayy more modern than the gemini app, even after this redesign

it's been a while since apple shipped a hardware as uncharismatic as the iphone 17 pro. the two-tone approach with aluminum and frosted glass just isn't working. sure, a lot of people will slap on a case anyway, but, really? the back of the phone is their key marketing visual, and it's this ugly?
September 10, 2025 at 12:22 PM
great... apple’s rolling out esim-only iphones in the philippines, yet smart still demands a physical store visit just to convert. worse, their sales reps are notorious for aggressively upselling prepaid subscribers to postpaid during the process. it’s 2025, and this friction is unacceptable

The MBC says multipurpose buildings, local roads, streetlights, basketball courts, waiting sheds, and other highly discretionary projects also need scrutiny.

abs-cbn should bring back #CinemaOneOriginals. this festival launched a wave of brilliant Filipino filmmakers, and its 20th edition deserves to be celebrated
September 9, 2025 at 10:24 AM
met two of the greatest filipino filmmakers last night! huge moment that was made even more special because #somenightsifeellikewalking is extended for a second week in theaters. it’s exhilarating to see philippine cinema not only back on its feet, but thriving with a proud and powerful new voice

i would argue it’s not really the “cash” on delivery that buyers prefer. it’s the assurance that purchased item/s arrived in one piece and in acceptable quality as advertised, before making payments. it’s so much easier to decline a parcel than go through the hoops of returning it
Although cash on delivery (COD) transactions have declined after the pandemic, at least half of customers still prefer this payment option, according to the CEO of an e-commerce and logistics company.

gemini is the most confusing AI product i've seen out there. can you enable note taking on google meet? depends on which meeting. can you use AI to draft on google docs? who knows? everytime i open google workspace, i don't know what to expect. sometimes the AI button is there, sometimes it's not

i really hope @news.abs-cbn.com would refresh ANC's graphic package and studios. today's generic rectangles and animations (or lack thereof) is old, boring, and uninspired
The live streaming and on-demand content of ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) is available for iWant subscribers, starts at PHP 35.00/month in the Philippines, and USD 4.99 elsewhere (additional charges may apply).

gawd, netflix’s reactivation campaign is so desperate, it’s annoying. they message you before your term even ends, and continues to do so for what feels like 2-3x a week. let me miss the damn platform at least, before bombarding me winback emails

it’s ridiculous that em dashes are now being considered a telltale that something is written by AI. I use em dashes all the time—they just feel natural to use, and make long, complex sentences more easily comprehensible
July 29, 2025 at 1:52 PM
from inquirer to philstar, rappler to abs-cbn, why do all filipino news websites look like they come from the 2000s? very cluttered, insightless, and uninspired. sure, social media killed the business model of news. but not alone. the lack of innovation by legacy media is absolutely culprit
